However, Iceron knew that this breed could not physically be everywhere at once... So he'd have to add one more enhancement of his own. He had set it up so that the smilodon would have a natural elemental affinity. An element that was almost everywhere on the face of the planet. The element that was thee very reason Ranma's pelt was complete black, when naturally, smilodons were tanned, brown, or red coated in their pelts.
The weresmilodons were to be created with the element of Shadow.
For Iceron knew that the wererats would try to find refuge in folds of darkness, hoping to keep themselves hidden from all physical senses of the new and final answer to all wererats. So it would be in Iceron's best interest to take away their greatest hiding place. After all, it wouldn't do a wererat any good.
Also, as a little 'perk', with the smilodon's complete black furred pelt, it gave it more options for stealth at night and in dark areas. A hunter that could strike and been unseen... Unless the weresmilodon was bathed in the blood of its victims...
But, as Ranma was discovering, as the power of shadows started to flow through him as his adrenaline began pumping through his veins was that shadows were at his beck and call now. His own shadow as his feet was wafting about and swirling around his feet, almost as it it were water.
Cologne could feel the magical energies flowing from the beast before her that was once the boy she knew; Ranma Saotome. The shadow-elemental magic was bustling to life, at a direct level of Ranma's ki, if not stronger. That was more than enough to get her danger sense blaring in full alert.
"EVERYONE OUT, NOW!" Cologne screamed as she literally bounded towards a wall, getting out of the restaurant by breaking through a window.
Seeing THAT was more of a shock than what Ranma was doing. Cologne, who was so superior in her fighting abilities, who could pull a number on anyone of them there...
Was running away like an scared, little animal with its tail between its legs.
This was enough of a que for those still in the Nekohanten to head towards the door. Of course, with everyone trying to get out at once, everyone was kinda still stuck in the restaurant...
Except Kasumi. She had left before, as to get Ranma some nice cat toys. So she would not be part of this new Ranma's wave of vengeace and ultimate power.
"STUPID PANDA MAN! GET OUT OF SHAMPOO WAY!"
"SAOTOME! I'M STUCK! TRY TO MOVE BACK AND LET US THROUGH FIRST!"
"PLEASE DAD! MOVE IT!"
"COME ON! RANCHAN IS GONNA BLOW!"
"Saotome, you kill me, and you'll be paying for my funeral!"
As the Nerima Wrecking Crew tried to fight amongst themselves to get out of the restaurant, it was then that the shadow that was swirling around Ranma's feet made their way towards them...
